Data Ingestion

Space Fleet is bundled with a data generator (a zodiac:function) that generates OpenTelemetry™ data (metrics, events and logs). For example, data may include scenario-based telemetry workloads to simulate "live action" such as changes in speed, intercom messages, starship news alerts, and torpedo exchanges. The data generator sends this data to the Common Ingestion Service (CIS).

Space Fleet also includes a cron that invokes the data generator function every minute on behalf of each tenant that subscribes to it. When you deploy Space Fleet to your Tenant, its cron starts automatically. You don't need to take any action to start the cron. The domain and entities that Space Fleet defines appear on the Observe as the platform creates those entities based on incoming MELT data and the solution's fmm:resourceMapping configuration.

Note: When creating your own attributes to represent your own telemetry generation entities in an OTLP Resource, you must follow the guidelines provided by the OTLP specification: "Attributes are grouped logically by the type of the concept that they described. Attributes in the same group have a common prefix that ends with a dot. For example, all attributes that describe Kubernetes properties start with k8s."
